The Slum Verdict

In the grim alleys of Barton City's Kestrel Court slum, Detective Elias Ward exposes a survival game turned slaughterhouse. He delivers the killer to justice, only to watch that justice rot behind the walls of Ironwood Penitentiary, where the cycle of predation never ends. A dark exploration of how poverty grinds conscience into dust, and a detective's victory becomes the seed of his despair.
